I have been using Project IDX from Google since last few days. idx.dev Works fairly well in Chrome, has a lot of issues around clipboard in firefox. For beginners its really great as it has some good Hello World template which is usualy the friction for adopting new tool. Also one click deployment and key management is really cool.

Yeah I am a regular heaven's above user (too bad they dont have iOS app) but this looked almost spooky when I saw my the sky with my building where I live (pulled from Google street views). At least in stellarium you see random horizon not your own freaking house

I think India was enabled for streetview just a month back. May be its just about updating the site

Ask HN: How to get better at software design?

I know there is no alternative to having actualy experiencing designing and coding software by working at a company like Aamzon or Spotify but if you are stuck at a B2B enterprise company you barely deal with complex challenges at scale and distributed system. At a senior (Staff/Pricipal) level its a deadlock between getting into a roll which does it and learning hands on. Guess "Design a uber"...

My Spottily is filled with children music like Coco-melon etc which I never listen. But kids play this from Alexa and Google home all the time. Spotify should have profiles.

I think this existed already. Of course GCP one is what I am more familiar with. AWS one seems to have 4G with 2G free. GCP last I checked only had 1G

Ask HN: How do I motivate myself to leetcode

I am a back-end software developer who worked on right from PL/SQL to AWS/GCP based projects in top (non-FAANG) companies for 15 years. Now I see come of my collages (mostly with half experience) are easily moving to FAANG with just few months of leetcode. I tried several times in the past but never could motivate or focus to solve problems and practice. I can probably answer most the...

Ask HN: What Are You Listening?

I don’t read books so I am not able to make use of all the “What am I reading” threads. But I listen to a lot of podcasts , radio shows and Audio documentaries mostly from BBC. Usually joe rogan and how stuff work etc comes as an answer but I am looking for any one off masterpiece that I have missed like Hitchikers guide to galaxies .

Interestingly even before this ban, there has been a movement (at least by armchair critics in Social Media) to uninstall Chinese apps. People started installing this unknown app "Remove china apps" to get rid of the apps that Chinese phone makers like Xiomi does not let you remove.

People started removing Chinese apps not because of national security but because they thought it would stop boosting Chinese economy which in turn will come as defense budget

Bigger question is how do you stop the market penetration of mobiles like Oppo/Vivo/Xiomi etc and all the Startups like Ola/Flipkart which is backed by Chinese investment.
